Bob and Thomas,
Thank you for the feedback.
I have been working under the assumption that after I get the message
from jpkg that qt binaries have been downloaded, that there is no
longer any downloading going on during the 30 min wait.
But perhaps that is a mistake and with my download speed
that could be the issue.
I have experimented unsuccessfully to use the Mac utility app
Activity Monitor to see if I can detect a download, but so far
I have not been able to detect a download happening. So
I cannot verify whether that is slowing down the jpkg .
I also have not found a way to uninstall J so that I can try again.
I am assuming that it is not enough to erase the j902 folder, but
I want to be told I am wrong.
Another question I have: can the righthand argument of jpkg be
an empty ('') to get all the stuff except the addons. I would
rather avoid getting addons in jconsole, in favor of getting them
from the pacman script. The 'help' for jkpg is very sparse.
